HEXSupernauts is a free to play game where the main focus is building things in its sandbox mode, but there are also a few missions thrown in.

BAJOThat's right, Hex. You play as your very own "Supernaut" and your secret headquarters is on an asteroid. So you're an astronaut AND a superhero at the same time, hence the name Supernaut. Genius.

HEXYeah, talk about win-win. Plus there's a shop available which allows you to buy some awesome, blinged-out furnishings for your home.

DARRENYou are also equipped with a zapper! Pew pew pew pew pew! This will let you make structures and houses out of the various types of blocks available in the game, for example, clay, concrete or bricks to name a few.

HEXYeah, and there's a lot of freedom to create almost any type of structure, although the game does give you some guidance by projecting the basic frameworks when you're building.

BAJO Guys I felt like I ran out of space fairly quickly. You can buy extensions for your land with coins, and you can get coins by trading with other players or by completing missions.

HEXThe missions involve rescuing trapped citizens on earth with the help of your trusty zapper. You can zap certain blocks to add them to your inventory, and then place them in strategic positions to save those poor citizens.

DARRENAffirmative Hex. And the zapper in each mission will determine which blocks you can remove and place.

HEXI had mixed feelings about these missions. I mean, on one hand they have some great puzzle elements, like figuring out how to rescue each citizen by creating paths with blocks. But on the other hand, the gameplay was frustratingly fiddly.

BAJOI agree, the touch screen controls make the camera wonky, and it flicks about at random.

HEXThe worst was when I had the camera to where I wanted it, and when I'd select my zapper, the camera would suddenly flick to a different angle. GAH!

BAJOI know what you mean Hex. The camera angles also made it a pain to place blocks where I wanted them to go.

DARRENI did like how the rescued citizens join you on your home asteroid, where you construct new houses for them. These new inhabitants will then pay you rent, generating more income for you. Ahahaha, charging my bank balance!!!

HEXAnd it's from there that you can purchase and upgrade your gadgets. Although collecting enough coins can be slow progress, and like most free to play games you can speed everything up with the premium currency.

BAJOIn Supernauts, the premium currency is gems, and this is what you buy with real life money. And this is how these kinds of free to play games make their money but I think they relied on it too much here.

HEXYeah I agree. Especially when upgrades start to take longer and longer, so you're more inclined to use gems to move on.

DARRENOkay according to my atomic clock, we really should be wrapping this up, what scores are you going to give Supernauts?

HEXWell, there were some decent puzzle missions, and I did enjoy that cheerful music, but in the end, I can't help but feel the micro-transactions were too pushy. So I'm giving it 6 out of 10

BAJOI didn't have much fun at all. I just found the whole thing a bit fiddly and frustrating, sadly. So I'm giving it 5 out of 10 rubber chickens.

DARRENAlright, strap on your coding helmets spawnlings, it's now time for another lesson in game making from Goose and Julian.
